For Michael - May 20th

First of all, thank you. You all helped to raise an incredible amount of money to combat the disease of opioid addiction.

Even though the marathon is complete we still have a long way to go before we can meet all of our goals and end the stigma that comes with addiction. Michael's family and friends are proud to announce that we will be continuing our fundraising efforts in Michael's name for Shatterproof with a new event to be held on May 20th, 2017 aptly named “For Michael”.

The event, held in Darien, will consist of live musical entertainment, food trucks, lawn games, and will culminate in a "build a boat" race. All of these events represent, in one way or another, a part of life that Michael loved. In gathering together to take part in this event we will celebrate the life of a son, brother and friend who is truly missed.

All contributions will be, first and foremost, a donation to Shatterproof. You also have the opportunity to volunteer or contribute to the event specifically. By doing so you will help to create a successful annual event honoring Michael.

With your help we can take the next step in ending addiction together, For Michael.

To learn more about how you can participate in the event please contact Will Herling (wcherling@gmail.com)
